THE DAILY
ASYLUM INVESTIGAIION.
(From Th» Fatriot.) FaLconwoop ASYLUM, June 28.
(). Also about the dustpan being used
ito gather the snow up? \. To my knowledge, I never heard | of h athing. I consider the win- lows are out of repair. That could not lo ur withoct my notice while in the i Asylum, but for the last n years | have been in town. The fine snow and the driving wind would drift through rood windows It would drift through
my Windows at home.
i). About the heateis?
A. The Engineer can tell more about that. One of the boilers is out of order and it will be replaced. It is an oid
boiler
«). In regard to the cieanliness ?
A. Abont the changing of beds that is not correct. When Mr. McPhail first came here I gave him orders to carry out, that the beds were to be changed at once on being wet or soiled every night, of every patient. If that order has been obeyed, it cannot possibly be the case. [t is Supervisor McPhail’s place to see that it is obeyed. [It is the attendant’s duty to do it, ay Mr McPhail re elves his orders from me, and he sees that it is carried out.
«) Has the flour always been found to be of a good quality?
A. You saw the bread yourself to-day. There was atime when it was not as good as that.
Q. Within the last few months or six months?
A. Yes.
Q How long since is it, since the flour was poor?
A. Well, sofar asi know, any poor flour we have had for some years past was between last January, when the new contract came into force, and two or three months ago when I called the attention of the Trustees to it.
Q. When did the change in the flour take place?
A. Two months ago. changed for the better.
Q. Is it understood to be permanent or just to meet the Grand Jury’s visit.
A. No, two months ago.
Q. You understand you are going to get that quality through the year?
A. Yes. I don’t remember what brands of flour. I judge by the bread.
WILLIAM MCPHAIL, SUPERVISOR, EXAMIN- ED.
Q. Have you made any request to have a new floor laid down?
A. I have spoken often. made a formal report.
. Isthat the cause of many of the leaks?
A. Yes. If there was a good floor that would be remedied.
Q. About the plaster, we noticed in several places that it was down, has that been down long?
A. I could not say exactly how long, down for some time.
@. Did youever make any request to have those repairs made?
A. Idon’t know that I have in so many words.
DR. BLANCHARD: I mentioned that in my Annual Report. qQ. Is it a fact or not that a coil of steam pipes in the attic froze und burst ?
A. It is a fact that something up there, I cannot tell whether that coil or a pipe below the floor froze. I under- stand it did not burst at all. It froze and would not let the steam through. Hot water was applied to it and that came down through. I understand the pipe never burst at all. Hearing it spoken I did not know but what it burst. The heat was let off at a certain time at night.
Q. There is a time when there is no heat at ail?
A. Yes, from eleven o’clock until the morning at five. I don’t know what it is in other establishments, that is the way it is here.
@. Would you allow it in your own house ?
A. I would take some means. I would keep it on all night in winter.
Q. Onsome nights certain wards don't get heat from some of the registers, many of them. ?
A. Some of the registers at one side of the house and on the front of the house don’t give any heat when the wind isa certain way, the heat does not go up there. At certain times in cold weather the patients are pretty cold and even in the day time.
Q. Are you in the habit of keeping a thermometer through the room?
A. Yes. There was one for ward some time ago.
Q. Do you keep any record of tem- peratures.
A. That is supposed to be kept in the record that the attendants keep. There is a column for the purpose, so many de- grees each morning- I don’t know whether they mark it.
Dr. Blanchard: It was such a per- functory thing, it was useless. :
Mr. McPhail: We had some talk about it and it was remarked between us, ‘‘that was not much here nor there.”’
.Q. Did you ever know the snow to drift in to cover up the patients?
A. No. I have known in houses in other places in a terrible snowstorm that the drift would come in somewhere.
Q. Tosomeextent you would notice it ?
A. Just once the complaint was made to me that snow came in acertain win- dow a couple of winters ago, and in that connection I may say that we had a man tighten up the windows. I think the floor should be renewed by all means.
Q. Do you see the food given tothe patients.
A. We gothrough it every meal. I go through it at breakfast regularly, either the matron orl. Itis always well cook ed. Atime perhaps, once in three or four months or so, the steam might be a little late and the porridge a little raw. I mention that for simple truth’s sake. That is notthe rule. It took place once. When I say raw I don’t mean raw al- together but just a raw taste.
8 Did you ever see a dinner not well ? Turnips not boiled? T nowor cam that
It was then

man repairing the windows they are still out of repair?
A. I consider there is something neces- sary to be done tothem. They are loose, } open and rattle very much in stormy | weather.
@. What would it mean to keep the heat on in addition to the extra coal, | what is the only other expense neces- |
sary’ — a) Rabe ae A. Idon’t think’ there is any need of
keeping a fire up all night but asa rule on a frosty night it would be kept up at 11 o'clock and after one o’clock. |
Q. If it was kept up all pipes would not freeze?
A. NoI don’t think it is necessary to it up all winter only extreme frosty weather. It would be only an extremely frosty night I would keep it up all night. {have nothing to do with the letting of contracts for supplies.
Q. Do you know that the meat had not been good, not the right kind of meat?
A. The meat is all right but a little tough sometimes.
A. Would it be the quality called for that you should expect them to get?
Has it been brought to your notice?
A. No not particularly. The meat is better sometimes than other times.
(). Put is the other way, say worse sometimes ?
A. You can do that if you like.
Q. Do you admit it was always suf- ficiently good for putting before pati- ents at all times?
A. Yes.
(). Regarding the orders of the house rcquiring the change of soiled bed clothes. Did you know at any time of any of the soiled beds being left there?
A. Beds were soiled sometimes.
@. How are they looked after?
A. This is what takes place—There is a night watch male and female (I am speaking of the male) When they come to a patient, (they know who are the wet patients), they ronse{them up two or three times a night to prevent them from wetting the bed and soiling it. Sometimes they do it in spite of every- thing. They then take the wet thing from under them, and there is a rubber sheet under that. They strip off that and put another in under them to be dry for the rest of the night and sometimes they wet again. Some of the epileptic patients.
Q. They are not allowed to sleep in wet clothes.
A. Not at all, the prove that.
Dr. Blanchard—I want to speak of the necessity of anew floor. I want to im- press upon the Jury that it is not due to the officials inthe Institution that there is not a new floor. It has been brought tothe notice of the Government time

Mr. McPhail. Five hundred and fifty feet of fire hose was got in April 1897, and placed in coils instead of nooks and water put on once a month for testing and for practice to attend- ants. The last test was June 5th, and the hose are always attached to the water taps.
Mr. Newson: Q. Going through the basement everything was nicc and clean. I do not consider, perhaps it would be necessary to have it as clean as we found it to-day; but was the basement prepared for the Grand Jury to visit?
A. The basement is swept out once a week, every Satarday afternoon as a rule,
. Is it generally as clean as we found it to-day ?
A. Yes. There was a pile of ashes or something that we saved to finish the concreting of a floor, and as I said to you the rats got into that, but that was re- moved not long ago.
Dr. Blanchard: It is just as it always
is. @. Were the surplus cats removed? A. No, that remains to be done. We choose the eats to the rats. It is the
rule of the Institution that patients are to help in the work and that attendants have to do the work, and work with the patients. They are not to order the patients to work and not put their own hands to it.
Q. Would they order the patients to clean up?
A. Not to my knowledge, it might have been so when my back was turned. The patients sweep, scrub, and wash, along with the attendants. The attend-

ants are always with them in the wash room.
Dr. Blanchard: It is against the rule for one patient to bathe another patient.
Mr. McPhail: They help and the at- tendant is there with them. I have seen an attendant and a patient both with sleeves rolled up to the shoulders wash- ing away and bathing another patient.

Q. Did you ever see any snow come through the windows?
A. Not exactly so. Perhaps after a bad storm you might notice

Q. Have you known wards to remain damp in damp weather after washing.

The Trustees being then notified re- turned tothe room, and Hon. Mr. Far- quharson said :—
by the Grand Jury in their inspection cf the premises, or if there are any in- structions to give, the trustees present would be glad to hear them and to answ- er questions. The letter in the Examin- er cast most serious reflections on the trustees, as people abroad would imagine we were barbarians. I think the editor of the Examiner should have been pres- ent atthe enquiry. One of the boilers is a little small, but a new one has been ordered and will be put in when the an- nex is built. The windows are said to be open, but a glazier went over them a year ago and everything possible was done tothem. I again repeat if there is any weak spot that you think you have discovered, we are here to justify it if it

that the heat be kept on continuously during the winter months.
It wee here decided to summon the Engineer.

@. In cold weather there are 7 that the building has no heat?
A. Banked up.
Q. You were not instructed at any time by the Commissioners to shut off steam to save coal?
A. I used my own judgment and every cold night I ran up to 10 and 11 0’- clock at night if necessary.
Had you any instructions lately about a new boiler?
A. The trustees are going to get a new boiler, and asked me to make out a plan.
Q. How many years is it since some of the radiators have not been working in little rooms up stairs?
A. In this part of the building only three years.
Q. How many years has it been that way?
A. Since they were built. When there is a certain wind there is no heat for the patients.
Q. That matter has been reported often, you haye reported it as engineer?
A. Yes, I have done everything a man could do, reported it to the doctor, to make them work, and nothing done about it. Hon. Mr. Farqunarson—I never heard a complaint of any patients being cold at any time with a certain wind. Witness: For 18 years.
Mr. Farquharson—lIt is the first time I have heard of it.
Q. Have youever gone throngh the rooms at 10 or1l at night and found out What the temperature was?
A; 3k
Q. You have gone through frequently ?

@ Was the freezing of the water on the floor in scrubbing brought to your notice ?
A. I never heard it before. It is the first time I ever heard a complaint. I put in 19 hours out of the 24.
The foreman, Mr. Haszard, in an- sw-z to 2 question by Hon. Mr. Mclean with rezard to the conditions of the floors, said they were in bad condition. The worst ones were in male wards 1 and 2.
Mr. McPhail—Ward as possible.
Mrs. Beaton, Matron, examined:
Q. About the food, bad meat, mice in meal, milk bad, do you know anything about that ?
A. I have seen a little dust in tae bot- tom of the pitcher sometimes, and as for the meat, I always seen it good, and the | porridge, one day there was a littie dust, | black specks, in it. This was changed

Lit of anything raw went up since I came here. It is well cooked and the Lread is good and everything I saw.
Q. Do you report everything not right at oyce ?
A. Ido.
Q. To whom ?
A. The Doctor. I did not at that time.
. How did you overlook that?
A I just came here first, I did not know. I told Mr McPhail and the rest of them. As for taking things upstairs, I did it and it is only ones that are locked up that I take anything for, and anyone sick. The Doctor gives orders and I at- tend to that, and if they don’t take it, I then take up myself an egg beaten, or
can be done, and if not to remedy it. Mr. Haszard, Foreman—I think that
statement is a very fair one, and it gives us an opportunity to bring to the motice of the trustees any objections we may see. It has been admitted by the evi- dence we have heard that the place is cold in winter at night time. We would
